Not bad.
You think these would be workable in a .257 Bob?

I don't see why not.
The main issue is that .257 has always been a caliber limited to small bullets intended for hunting, so most quarterbore guns ended up with fairly slow twists. The 25-06 for example has a chamber that can still accommodate the new high SD bullet's length though would probably need a faster twist to handle the heavier new bullets.
On that note...
There is also the parallel development of lighter weight solid monolithics like the PVA Seneca which tend to have different characteristics from jacketed bullets and is yet another "frontier" to explore in new high performance .257 bullets. These could potentially be a good choice for those that just have to have an ultra-fast .257. I just ordered a couple of boxes of
these "bulldozers" from a custom bullet maker, but I'm guessing other manufacturers will follow suit.
